Description of the problem	My 2005 subaru forester suddenly accelerated as i approached a stoplight. The car was in neutral, the clutch was not engaged and my foot was on the brake. The acceleration subsided after i placed the car in first gear and slightly pressed on the gas pedal moving the car forward about a foot. This sudden acceleration occurred over a dozen times in the course of 24hrs. The car was taken to the local subaru dealer where several test runs were performed as well as a monitor test. No codes showed up so i took the car for a test run with one of the service advisors and the car accelerated several times within 10-15min. I took the car for a second test run with a mechanic who believed the throttle was improperly opening. The mechanic then inspected and cleaned the pin connectors at tps and map sensors. He then road tested it several times to determine if the problem had been resolved and found no more sudden acceleration problems. It was determined that the problem most likely was a sticky throttle. The car now runs well.
